Shop Crush: Buk and Nola


Buk and Nola is a home decor boutique in Montreal that I'm slightly obsessed with. I usually pride myself in the many boutiques I've discovered, however I have to give my boyfriend the credit for this one! He came home from work one day and was so excited to take me to see it, and what a pleasant surprise! (He did good, huh!)

The boutique has a whimsical meets soft and romantic aesthetic and is filled with so many wonders to discover. Including hand made pillows, furniture that's restored in the shop's atelier and unique accessories. I have found a few treasures here that I will be sure to share with you soon.

Wedding Season


I have a few weddings coming up and I can't help but think of what I may do one day for my own. Collecting images here and there from various wedding blogs I love and from pinterest, dreaming up my perfect day. Then I discovered the BHLDN moodboards. BHLDN, which is pronounced beholden, is inspired by the dutch word "to keep", and is a wedding line launched by Anthropologie. It has a similar modern feminine meets vintage aesthetic, yet is much more glamorous. 

The website is breathtaking and the moodboards may be the best part. You can literally create your own inspiration boards from images on the site as well as your own photos. It's not limited to weddings either, you can create many different inspired boards.

Pike Place Market


If you can't tell I really love markets, and I think the Pike Place Market in Seattle is a new favorite. This was my first time in Seattle, and I'm looking forward to another trip soon! The market was obviously adorable, the shopping was great and the waterfront is so beautiful. We made sure to also check out a few landmarks which included the very first Starbucks and the gum wall (ew). The market is also famous for the fish throwing, however it was a bit challenging to capture a good photo.

Dolce Amore

Drewss: UO | Shoes: BLOCH | Belt: Vintage | Bracelet: Club Monaco

The heat has finally hit Vancouver, and it's been sunny for an entire week! My boyfriend and I have been taking advantage of the nice weather after work, going for walks by the water, having drinks on a few patios and of course treating ourselves to some gelato. YUM! We found this traditional Italian gelateria on Commercial Drive, where they hand make all of the flavours. 

When it's this warm out all I want to do is throw on a dress, minimum accessories and head out the door. Summer, I like you.
